Rock for Larueis a music compilation comprised of songs by independent musicians to help raise money to help assist in the ongoing medical costs for Holly Larue Frizelle.

Larue was diagnosed last December with acute lymphocytic leukemia and by year’s end she had a bone marrow test, a spinal tap and had her first chemotherapy treatment. On New Year’s Eve Larue began a two-year plan of treatment.

Acute lymphocytic leukemia is cancer of the blood and bone marrow – spongy tissue inside bones where blood cells are made. ALL is the most common type of cancer in children. Treatments for ALL typically result in a good chance of a cure for children, much better than for adults.

Rock for Larue is an 18-track album with songs donated by artists and bands like JKutchma & the Five Fifths, BJ Barham of American Aquarium and Nice Bison. Many contributions come from N.C. artists as well as bands from Muscle Shoals, Alabama, D.C., Richmond, Virginia and Chicago.
